January 1, 2009 SoCalZ's Tour D'Orange

I will be heading North from San Diego at 6:00 am tomorrow! Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Eve. Experienced my first ever DUI check point this evening! Not to worry and those of you who know me, know I never drink while driving and this evening I had been drinking hot tea with my Mexican Dinner! See ya all tomorrow.
 
Good morning SoCal.

We have some fog up this way this morning. Thick as pea soup. :roll: Leave plenty of space in front of you this morning as you travel. Be safe and we will see you soon. :driving:
 
Thanks for fog advisory. Leaving at 6 for 93 minute trip there. Will rely on GPS and not road signs this morning, guess that is similar to an instrument landing for me! We all fly low!
 
What a beautiful day. Chilly 54 degs with fog this morning turning into 74 degs in the afternoon. There was 11 Z's answer the New Years Day event. Met at Bench Racing, recieved our maps and headed out.

The fog did not last very long, once we headed away from the beach.

Thank you to all that rolled out today and shared such a great day. :!: :!: :!:
 
Had a great time at Tour D' Orange. Nothing better than rolling out of a stop light with 200+ different engine roaring :driving: :thumbsup: :D

Not much picture here cause I know Earl will and he has a camera 10x better than mine.

What a way to start the 1st Day of the New Year, :thumbsup: the beautiful people, the beautiful cars & not to mention the semi-beautiful weather - the early morning FOG. Overall, both my wife and I had a really great time to seeing familiar faces & making new acquaintances.... :D

Four COUPE...I'm happy :D Imagine if Rob, Mad Dog, & Jim were there.

Sounds like someone is having coupe withdraws. :roll: I was under the impression that the fewer that showed up , the more special you guys felt. :rofl: Brian has the special yellow coupe, Lance had the only Z4 si coupe , Earl had the only Z4 ///M coupe and you were the only silver coupe. There were no two cars the same attending, so in my book we were all unique. :thumbsup: I think it was a great turnout for a Jan. 1st event. :thumbsup:

We need to get the next ZRALLY planning going.
 
I am representing the oxford green part of the family, and count me in too for the next get together!
 
Video editing is taking longer than usual. Here's a little preview:

Thats a good start :thumbsup: That guy in the silver coupe thinks you are number one. :rofl:
 
The said silver MC approached me after and asked if I can edited it out :poke: :rofl: :headbang: There's no way to edit it (or should I say blur it) unless I buy the expensive video editor or re shoot it at the exact same place and angle (which is both not going to happen). And also for some unknown reason, youtube decided to use that exact clip as the thumbnail :headbang: Dude, Earl, I'm glad your in my life :headbang:
 
I believe the actions that have been requested is called youthful remorse for ones actions and making it someones elses job to help out. :oops: Where this old guy just crosses the double yellow line and saves the car. Was it not the same silver MC that took those video shots and did not edit correctly ????? :fuelfire:
 
I see you guys are starting off the New Year with lots of heckles and pokes! Way to go, keep it up! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
